You are looking for eternabond tape.
I would cut 45 ends to the board instead of butting old and new at 90 degrees. I'd use thickened epoxy along the seams along with the screws, and then seal the wood with more layers of unthickened epoxy, then cover with eternabond.
But I like overkill.
Agree on checking rot for deeper than visible. I hate OSB too. Marine plywood is what should have been used. OSB is a dollar saving corner cutting device no matter what claims are believed by some.
